Rufous-winged Buzzard, Mae Hia - Nov 2011

A species we'd previously caught up with during the huge raptor movements at Khao Dinsor some weeks earlier (albeit just a single and at some distance), Rufous-winged Buzzards couldn't have been more accommodating at the agricultural college. This bird in particular showed wonderfully, slowing up as it approached and eye-balling us menacingly as it drifted over.

About Me

Lucky enough to spend plenty of my time enjoying birds and wildlife as my bread and butter and drug of choice, I've an east coast Bird Observatory on my doorstep here in Filey and a second just down the road at Flamborough. I'm a field ornithologist, nature writer, speaker and guide, a role juggler here at the Obs and a musician / songwriter with my band Morning Bride.
